So does Joey get cursed with a poison pen thing like in the Invisible Man's Socks? Because I think that would be a pretty nasty curse that could show how dangerous Joey is.
That actually could be a cool way to curse Joey, but sorry to tell that not my Joey.
This AU, Of the cursed and creatures, is based on my main studio AU called Ink Shape, and therefore is an extra of the same AU, in which Joey (nicknamed Kestrel) is actually a good guy, even if he digs into magic and the occult (but always with a guide and mentorship).
In this particular extra, Joey and Henry (who are brothers) were cursed thanks to their parents, who angered a creature of unnatural power and it cursed them through their children. Only way to break the curse was to wholeheartedly regret and apologize, but these parents didn't, and now both Henry and Joey deal with the consequences.
Joey's curse turned him in wood. He barely managed to conceal a spell so at the very least his face looks normal. But kinda like these modelling dolls with limited mobility, he is pretty much stuck in himself, limping, with rigid movements, and this also provokes him to get frustrated and more than often ends up breaking some part of himself due to straining. At the very least he is able to replace almost every limb and piece of himself by carving some other wood pieces and using them, but he's still trying to find a way to break the curse and finally have a life as the human being he's supposed to have.
